My drawing for the word CLOUDS for MonkeySideBars was based on the artwork of A.M. Hopfmuller. An unsung hero, a designer that I know nothing about, only that the artwork for the magazine entitled Shadowland (from 1919 to around 1923) went unnoticed. This particular piece was called Green Hill and …

What is your favourite quote and why? Who cares, its forking Friday… Actually I do care; I love quotes whether it’s from a poem, song, movie, from novels – I like remembering my much-loved ones and using them sporadically and when the timing is right. I seem to quote from …

Unicorns kept bouncing up in the Draw Something game when Zynga decided to bombard us with a Minions theme. I didn’t even know what a Minion was before then. I draw also for a group on Facebook called Draw Something 2 Fanatics on the DS2 game and as the group …

Angry Birds was all I could think of drawing when I got the word ‘Birds’ in the game Draw Something. Come to think of it, next time I get that word I might draw a Budgerigar playing Angry Birds… yes that would work. Like the Draw Something game Angry Birds …

Jeff Bridges is… THE DUDE from ‘The Big Lebowski’. To my mind The Big Lebowski is one of the best Coen Brothers movies. It has a great cast not to mention a dazzling soundtrack and the dream structures used in the film are exceptionally good. This is my favorite one: …

I came across this psychedelic mushroom on a reggae T-shirt found randomly on-line and drew it very quickly whilst waiting for a long glass of Pimms. As you can see there was not mushroom on the mushroom and I was as lazy as the girl sprawled across it so rushed …

I came across High Society Girl on the front cover of a property magazine delivered to my office. The image was too tempting and had to be drawn before being recycled. The only reason the image was on the front cover was because there was an article regarding high society …

I think that ‘The Girl That Dripped Blood’ is probably the most sinister drawing I have created so far. I was Google searching ‘girl smoking’ to use for a drawing that I was doing of Catwoman and flirtatiously wanting to place a cigarette in her mouth when I came across …

Other Mother is a classic baddie created by British author Neil Gaiman in the amazing fantasy-horror novel and movie Coraline. Using one google search for an image orientation I was drawn to drawing Other Mother because the word available was ‘button’. I felt like I just climbed back up from …

The red dress and matching red shoes sat on the bed, neatly placed, side by side. She wore them as perfectly as they looked. The red lipstick was the final touch of a two-hour long build-up of expectation and thrill. It would be a night to remember. At the club, …

TOILOGRAPHY I began following Toilography quite some time ago on Instagram which is a thread dedicated to toilet photography and the appreciation of the restroom, I know that I certainly appreciate and respect it. My toilet draw was on Draw Something 1 and just the basic tool of a pen …

Plat Du Jour It’s time to raise the curtain… That wannabe piglet Miss Piggy made it to our TV screens in the early 70s on The Muppet Show. Miss Piggy was forever grabbing the little frog that she wanted to marry. Unfortunately he couldn’t Kermit (…old one). I drew Miss …

CHEWBACCA – CUTEBACCA In a galaxy far far away… Episode IV: A New Hope – Chewbacca makes his first appearance and then three others I believe (without checking on google). Chewie was from the planet Kashyyyk (and yes, I had to check the spelling on google and it is spelt …

CHIEF WIGGUM STOP! Police… Chief of Springfield’s Chief Wiggum I had to find a use for the bullet hole tool in Draw Something and randomly placed them alongside my drawing of The Simpson’s lazy cop Chief Wiggam, father of little Ralph. In many Simpson episodes you see Chief Wiggam imprudently …

JAWS – My drawing was taken from the movie poster for Jaws 2 It’s that time of year again when you need to listen out for ominous music whilst at the beach, but if you happen to be in the UK there is more chance that you’re gonna need a …

The word that I selected to draw was ‘Lasso’ My drawing was (of course) inspired by the wonderful woman – warrior princess and I used one reference found randomly online but made her my own by completely drawing her out of proportion! Not on purpose I might add but …
